SPENCER TOWNSHIP, MI -- A 29-year-old Greenville area woman was a 'devoted mother' of two children who once coached soccer and was a Girl Scout leader, her obituary said.

Danielle Dee Scholten-Linderman died Wednesday, Oct. 23 in what police say was a homicide at the hands of her boyfriend, 51-year-old Scott Hammer.

Hammer is expected to be arraigned today in Kent County District Court for the death.

Scholten-Linderman's body was found in the lower level of a Spencer Township home owned by Hammer's brother.

She and Hammer were staying with his brother's family, at the Lincoln Lake Avenue NE home, while they renovated a home northeast of Greenville.

Police allege Hammer left the home after her death, then went to the other residence on Wise Road and set it on fire. He was arrested later at a Sheridan area gas station.

Her obituary indicated she worked at Drake's Place in downtown Greenville and previously had worked at a number of restaurants. She was formerly a soccer coach and Girl Scout leader and had volunteered at Greenville Community Church.

The funeral home is accepting contributions on behalf of Scholten-Linderman's children.

Surviving are her children, Jadan Linderman and Ava DeBoer, both at home; her parents, Brenda and Bob Taylor of Remus and Dean and Jan Scholten of Sheridan two sisters, Tabitha Scholten and Scott Ripley of Stanton, and Melissa Wagner of Greenville.
